    Let's not provide excuses to irresponsible behavior sir. Arum is not the only promoter in the world. As skillful as he is, he could have easily found another promoter in a week's time. Man six years? These are grown ass men and let's stop treating them like they're babies. Not good to blame your parents for being ugly all your waking life. You have to make something out of yourself. Let them take responsibility and let them admit mistakes.

    this business is filled to the brim with unrealistic mf's
    mf's who thought their ass would age like wine
    if you mean it turns to vinegar, it does
    if you mean it gets better with age, it don't

    Top Rank froze him out after he asked for more money to fight Lomachenko.

    Typical behavior from Bob Arum.

    Walters was a hot product when he was up and coming. Just blasting fighters out. When he flattened Donaire face first, I thought, damn!! The power is real and so was he. Then he faced Loma and like every other opponent Loma was facing around that time, they all just quit on their stool after about 5-8 rounds with Loma. I think he lost all taste for boxing following that defeat because Loma made it look like Walters was a rookie. Walters probably thought, if he can't beat Loma, he'd never be champion worthy and just quit. That sucks because he was fun to watch for the most part. Now he's coming back at a time he should have been really looking to get out.

    Not bad for a ProBoxTV headliner. Been seeing glimpses of ProBox fights and I could see it's a serious business.
    Production quality is not bad. Good to seeing alternatives when nothing in the mainstream make sense.

    ProBox should be wooing more fighters that genuinely want to be active.

    Welcome back Axe Man. I hope that everything turns out well for him. I've never seen more class , grace, and sportsmanship as what Walters and Donaire displayed in the ring after their fight. It was quite a moment. Whenever people try to tell me that boxing is just two guys trying to knock each other out ,I refer them to that episode. I feel sorry for people who can't see boxing for what it really is.

    I totally get that he wanted more family time. I respect that. But also… man he gave up his prime earning years. That’s tough.
